With 25 years behind us, and a future filled with possibility, Northern Clay Center announced American Pottery Festival 2016, our 18th annual fundraising benefit and celebration of the art of the pot. This three-day event promised exceptional offerings of contemporary American pottery and outstanding conversations between collectors, makers, learners, and supporters.
Each year, the artist roster includes national artists we rarely see in this area, local artists we want to see more of, and emerging artists who spark our interest. 2016’s artist roster was no different and provided a wide range of voices in clay as well as learning opportunities. The festival always presents the chance to engage with artists through image presentations, workshops, gallery chats, and panel discussions.
- 30 Guest Artists
- Workshops, Artist-led Slide Lectures, and Panel Discussions
